One standard that is coming up more and more often and that we explicitly apply is <strong>EN 352-8<\/strong>.<br\/>But what exactly does this standard mean? Why are we talking about it? And why is it good that our Bluetooth ear muffs comply with it?   <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wat-is-en-352-8\">What is EN 352-8?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nen.nl\/nen-en-352-8-2008-en-122988\">EN 352-8<\/a> bears the official title: <em>\u201cHearing protectors \u2013 Electromagnetic earmuffs providing entertainment audio and\/or mobile communication functions \u2013 Requirements and test methods.\u201d<\/em><br\/>In plain language, this means that it is the European safety standard for earmuffs that not only protect against noise, but <strong>can<\/strong> also <strong>play sound via Bluetooth or other audio connection<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard establishes requirements for:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The <strong>maximum volume<\/strong> allowed to reach the ear through the audio function.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>quality of attenuation<\/strong>, even when playing music or communication via Bluetooth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>safety and reliability<\/strong> of the electronics in the earmuff.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The <strong>test methods<\/strong> used to verify that the manufacturer really does adhere to those requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In short, an EN 352-8-certified earmuff is thoroughly tested, safe, and combines hearing protection with audio in a responsible manner.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-waarom-hebben-we-het-over-en-352-8\">Why are we talking about EN 352-8?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because the combination of protection and audio is not obviously safe.<br\/>At Horend Goed, we believe you can enjoy music or a podcast while working or doing a job \u2013 but <strong>without risking your hearing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bluetooth ear muffs that do <strong>not<\/strong> comply with EN 352-8 may play too loudly or not attenuate adequately. So then you get false safety: you think you are protected, but in reality your ear is still getting too much noise. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">EN 352-8 ensures that this does not happen. It is a standard that combines safety, comfort and modern technology. <\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-onze-horend-goed-bluetooth-oorkappen\">Our Horend Goed Bluetooth ear muffs<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our <strong>Horend Goed Bluetooth ear muffs (SNR 30 dB)<\/strong> meet this European standard. This means that they not only protect well, but also handle Bluetooth sound safely.<br\/>\ud83d\udc49 You can find them here in the webshop: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/shop\/hearing-protection\/earmuffs\/horend-goed-bluetooth-earmuffs-snr-30-db\/\">Horend Goed Bluetooth ear muffs SNR 30 dB<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They have:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An <strong>attenuation value of 30 dB SNR<\/strong>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bluetooth functionality<\/strong> for music or phone calls,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And a <strong>safe audio limit<\/strong> so your ears won\u2019t be overloaded.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latter is exactly why the EN 352-8 is so important: It ensures that the ear muffs can never play too loudly.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-het-geluid-moet-je-voelen-of-toch-liever-niet\">\u201cYou have to feel the sound\u201d \u2013 or would you rather not?<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We sometimes get the ear muffs returned with the comment:<\/p>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe sound quality is disappointing.\u201d<br\/>Or:<br\/>\u201cThey can\u2019t be loud enough.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And then when we ask a little further, it often turns out that people expect that the sound should be tangible \u2013 that you should <em>feel<\/em> it <em>vibrate<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But let\u2019s face it: <strong>that\u2019s not what you wear hearing protection for.<\/strong><br\/>Earmuffs are there to protect your ears from too much noise \u2013 even if that noise is coming from your phone or music player.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Music is wonderful, but listening too loudly and for too long is destructive to your hearing.<br\/>That\u2019s why EN 352-8-rated Bluetooth ear muffs keep the volume within safe limits. So you can enjoy your favorite music without getting harmed. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In other words, if you <em>don\u2019t feel<\/em> the sound, but do hear it well, the ear muffs do exactly what they are supposed to do.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-waarom-en-352-8-belangrijk-is-voor-jou\">Why EN 352-8 is important to you<\/h3>\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-veiligheid-boven-alles\">1. <strong>Safety above all else<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The standard guarantees that the volume remains safe even at maximum settings.
